Ratings and reviews

They were ahead of time with smart sprinkler systems but unfortunately went out of business. It started several years ago when charged to use the cloud server and didn't get enough subscribers. For those of you who stated its a simple basic timer system now is incorrect. Mine still gets weather updates from weather servers and calculates how much to water. Although yes the app can't access the system on the local network you can still type in your ip address in the web broswer to gain access.

App doesn't work half the time. There's no remote access. Only when I'm on home wifi and still extremely unstable. Read that need to pay to use app. That's "bait&switch". When i got the system there was no charge and that's why i got it. I understand that it might be a charge for app but only for those who buy it now and know ahead of time that there's monthly fee. Moreover, it could be raining before, during ot after scheduled time, waters anyway. 1 star rating for 1 star service. Fair!

Never connects on wifi anymore, seems to be the case for everyone. Shouldn't be listed as free, just software lock it entirely and be honest with the bait and switch for remote access. Had it installed in 2015. Update: 0 stars. I'm a software engineer. I tried side loading a version that worked before years ago and still does not work. This change was intentional. It is unethical and should be illegal. Shame on alphabet for allowing it. Never buying anything from rain machine again.
